Holy changes

[gloomy hare]

Huohuo point

[autumn crag]

I love that story part

[verbal quest]

You know hearing about the dev log that the writers basically didn’t tell the designers anything about the characters

[verbal quest]

This is starting to make more sense

[plush depot]

All they receive are stickmans

[median pewter]

real??

[still kettle]

wtf

[rugged haven]

i got that too recently lmao

[gloomy hare]

I have thus, spoken Apocalypse, he did it!

[unborn egret]

damn they changed a lot of the interface huh. i played the final chapter for part one just a little bit further 2 weeks ago and came back now and the UI and bars are all diffrent and more compact

[still kettle]

They're worse in some places

[verbal quest]

welcome to hell

that right there is the biggest proof of your age as a hi3 player

or being a whale

[still kettle]

Or just someone who doesn't roll affixes

[eternal token]

Now u understand regression

Enjoy the long ER grind

[drowsy elk]

have fun in ER

i want to experience ER story for the first time again

[still kettle]

Have fun running 5 stages of ER every time you wanna progress the story

[eternal token]

There is a skip button atleast

[verbal quest]

There wasn’t one when it first came out

The worst thing about QoL is that they do it after you’re past the point where you needed it

[eternal token]

Hey helps new player a lot

[verbal quest]

Kids get everything handed to them nowadays

[gloomy hare]

at least he did it, I would go mad if It successfully prevented him from fulfilling his wish

About ER, main story isn't that bad of a grind, side stories/blue marks on the other hand

[eternal token]

Yeah i skip that

Its too long lol

For side stories ill just slowly fill it

While doing weeklies

[gloomy hare]

I'll do the same

[eternal token]

Yeah dont need to aim 100% right away

It will take a long time

Is this the end of your Honkai journey sen

[rugged haven]

I mean I can’t blame you, I look at this and I wanna go to sleep

[rugged haven]

[rugged haven]

nah

except HoH and i guess HoRb i have 4/4 of the ones i care abt

oh and hotr

still missing one

2/4, 3/4, 3/4 respectively

i already got 4/4 for both griseo so im getting lazy

[verbal quest]

Heh, good luck hitting pity on the exact equip you need

[rugged haven]

HoH seems fine since 2/4

but the other two

[still kettle]

I just realised

HoRb Seele's dress is so long it clips through the bridge

Wtf ?

[eternal token]

I need to try it

I only tried sena

[untold nexus]

Same

[eternal token]

Heard helia is braindead on ER

I might try it first

[untold nexus]

I will try Helia next week, and Coralie the week after

Mmh, sorry Sena but seems like you're the hardest to play
will prob use the other 2 in the future

[eternal token]

Sena is

A bit hard to play yeah

I need to get used to her more

[untold nexus]

[mellow nova]

Her combo is weird

Attk weap attk weap weap ult > Dash attk > attk weap weap

It gives me cramps whenever I play her

[untold nexus]

Yeah, but she do be fun though

Also noticed that the new Trio's Ults are extremely simple

[mellow nova]

The only thing hard to rmb is for sena

Tho the astral mode is fun

Coralie spinning is so much fun

[eternal token]

Corale spin bonk

Trio is super fun tho

[gloomy hare]

that was close

[eternal token]

Nice

[rugged haven]

pro

damn actually fighting the boss

i just skip it

[still kettle]

...I have everyone 4/4 now

Barely even spent any xtal

[plush depot]

Wtf sacc

[still kettle]

The thing that took the most xtal was Sena and I got her in 24

So I guess I'm pulling Songque

[verbal quest]

someone ban him

[still kettle]

wait what's the command

Anyway I checked the spending event and I only spent the equivalent of 22000 xtal but most of that was tickets

[plush depot]

Wtf

[mellow nova]

She sucks at s

Just pull elf

I mean get

Kiana elf or sth

Its like S2 Sena > SS Sena > SS songque

[verbal quest]

ok i see what you guys mean by coralie being OP in ER

Gonna post this here for new players that coming knocking for part 2

Because watching streamers trying part 2, I learned that mhy forgot to include a tutorial on how to play the game

[still kettle]

tough luck

[verbal quest]

Should have player over 200 hrs of part 1 before accepting that sponsored stream smh

[still kettle]

Only players who've completed part 1

[eternal token]

classic

[still kettle]

Alternatively no tutorials like the old days of gaming

[rugged haven]

simply a skill issue

[still kettle]

exactly

[misty orchid]

thanks, i needed this

[gloomy hare]

Did you just start playing Shinjo?

[misty orchid]

[gloomy hare]

[misty orchid]

[still kettle]

Diva

[plush depot]

Diva or Navi

But pick who ever makes you

[still kettle]

She's the most versatile out of the three and has the best SP generation for your team

[misty orchid]

@still kettle is this girl worth it?

if not i'll just let her be

[eternal token]

the xtals are worth it

prob the best xtals u can buy in the entire game

also u can use her for free ER xtals later on

[misty orchid]

[mellow nova]

U buy it for the crystals

[eternal token]

Gameplay

[plush depot]

wtf

[gloomy hare]

girl is crazy

[eternal token]

sheesh bro

[plush depot]

intense spongegbob I don't need it gif

[untold nexus]

The Ult isn't as unique as I hoped, but it still looks sick

[gloomy hare]

wait new weapon type

[plush depot]

yeah...

[untold nexus]

I saw some people complaining about that, where I don't see the issue

[verbal quest]

Well weapons and 4/4 are easier to get now

So it’s not much of an issue for me anymore

[untold nexus]

How was it an issue before ?

[plush depot]

who can swipe

off rate weapons

[verbal quest]

Let’s say you got misteln, the only javelin user

And you didn’t get her weapon

[plush depot]

SuiHehe

[verbal quest]

You are just stuck with the 3 star weapon

Or is it 2 star

Anyways, imagine getting your new dps character and being unable to use them for anything until their next equipment banner

[untold nexus]

Ah, so that's why, not getting the bis weapon for a character I'm actually pulling for wasn't a thought that existed in my head

[verbal quest]

It was entirely possible back then before supply changes you know

The absolute worst case scenario back then was 200 pulls on equipment supply

[untold nexus]

That's why they didn't add many weapon types in part 1, makes sense

[verbal quest]

They added misteln, and people were not happy

[untold nexus]

Yeah, I can see why now

I heard Sonque ||might be playable in the future, and she might use a staff/Javelin ? Take it with a huge grain of salt though||

[verbal quest]

It’s possible

Anyways I don’t mind new weapon types now, and it allows more variety in gameplay

[eternal token]

yoyo and hammer is fun

im down for more

[untold nexus]

Yeah same

Just, who else is going to use Yo-Yo's, Double crossbow or Chain Swords in the future ? Doesn't seem likely

Weapon types are a bit weird at this point

[verbal quest]

It is weird now

Before they didn’t have an issue with 5 star alternatives because they used to give weapons in evens + on release there were lots of options

[plush depot]

what about fish?

[verbal quest]

Then they made new weapon types like raven and Durandal, and after waiting for over a year we haven’t gotten any good alternatives to their BiS

[untold nexus]

Who

[verbal quest]

Then they made characters like sushang and senti, who just use “fists” but their gameplay is totally different to get around the lack of 5* alternatives

And then they went back a step again to make misteln the only javelin user (and sirin the only scissor user)

And here we are in part 2, with 60 pity weapons and endless opportunities

Tldr: the weapon situation right now is probably the best outcome

[untold nexus]

[plush depot]

wise advice from old-timer

not advice

[verbal quest]

Still doesn’t fix misteln or sirin however because afaik, part 1 characters still use the old supply with off rates

[untold nexus]

Yeah true

[mellow nova]

Damn

She hot as fk

Also she looks like hella drunk when attacking

[plush depot]

mihorny is going for the crazy=hot route

and I like it

[mellow nova]

Ded valk that only lasted 1 ver

[eternal token]

its a crime they release kfc last before 2.0

literally the worst mistake ever made by mhy

atleast release Lunar vow or something

[mellow nova]

Its before the anniversary too

So ppl don't pull her even with the special gear pulls

[eternal token]

atleast release something memorable

[mellow nova]

I'm glad I skipped her

I'm having fun with new trio rn

[eternal token]

same

new trio is so fun

[mellow nova]

Esp coralie

In er

[eternal token]

i should unlock coral next week

so i can try her

[mellow nova]

Ye also the new buffs is geared for her

[eternal token]

also trying to play for the 1st time on my phone since new patch

bro my frames

[verbal quest]

Now you see the problem is Luna is actually really good

[eternal token]

[eternal token]

yes thats what i mean

release something GOOD before next patch

[verbal quest]

She can function as lighting, bleed and fast atk dps

[eternal token]

valks that will be remembered

for days to come

[mellow nova]

Support too

She can support sena

[verbal quest]

Nah, spending event bro

They know

We know

[eternal token]

bro i wasted all my points on asterite

rip no elfs for me

[mellow nova]

I think they don't want to repeat the incident with Senti and AE

So they released Fu hua last

LOL

[verbal quest]

Honestly I’m surprised how good Luna was

[eternal token]

literally my mind goes

[verbal quest]

I pulled for nostalgia

[mellow nova]

Same

[eternal token]

'oh this should be enough to grab everything'

[verbal quest]

And she fucking dominated multiple abyss weathers and ER weathers with no effort

[eternal token]

and grab all asterite first

[mellow nova]

She's even broken now cuz

[eternal token]

i can pull her when her expa on rotation

[mellow nova]

U don't nid Eden anymore when u use her as a support

Honestly don't

[eternal token]

tho i dont wanna backpull ye

[verbal quest]

Wait you don’t

Damn let’s go

My Eden can stay lvl 1 forever

[mellow nova]

U don't nid anymore eden

[eternal token]

all my valks will be part 2

[verbal quest]

[mellow nova]

When Sena is here now

Its Hotr Luna Sena lead

[verbal quest]

Damn

Not investing into Eden has finally paid off

[mellow nova]

She can brute force lightning weather too

Cuz the astral op is so broken

They just ppwercrept everything

[verbal quest]

I love when you pull on a valk for feels, and they reward you with actual meta

[mellow nova]

Ice is next too

[eternal token]

we havent got ice since

hohe right

[mellow nova]

Think they mentioned that the ???? Skill of Sena is for support

[verbal quest]

Yeah

[mellow nova]

So new valk + Sena + sushang/kira prob new ice team

[verbal quest]

We have been swamped in physical and bleed dps

[eternal token]

i hope i can use something for next valk

literally no support for ice man

[mellow nova]

Griseo adult is a fake bleed dps tho

[verbal quest]

Adult griseo tried to advertise as dps

Became further proof that Luna is Op

[eternal token]

hopefully when CN leak comes in we got a new investment

on what valks to invest

since i have 0 stuff for ice

[verbal quest]

Which is a shame because her playstyle in ER is super fun

But aint no way you’re gonna clear abstinence or above with that

[mellow nova]

She just sucks

Better put her in support for sussanah/teri

[median pewter]

correction: sirin's scissors are technically chakrams

kekw

[verbal quest]

Oh wait they are

Congrats, have your choice between Aponia, Pardo, or Ai chan BiS

[median pewter]

i only have Pardo and Sirin BiS

[misty orchid]

so after doing hi3rd part 2 main quest, i just need to clear part 1 quests after while waiting noh?

[verbal quest]

Basically do part 1 on your own time if you’re bored while waiting for part 2 new updates

[eternal token]

Do part 1 but at ur own pace

Part 1 is amazing

[verbal quest]

If you need any convincing, the majority of part 1 is written by Shaoji

[misty orchid]

hell no

[bright night]

need suggestions for the new characters
go for helia's weapon or go for the yoyo girl weapon
i have 2/3 stigmata's for helia and still have the box

[eternal token]

sena first

then helia

stigs are all craftables

[untold nexus]

Anyone else loving the Antares Building/Oxia as much as I do ? The design, the music, the atmosphere, are all so good
I genuinely love that place

[eternal token]

its def the best one so far

[untold nexus]

The best one ? Like the best bridge ? Or open world ?

[eternal token]

main story 'open world' i guess

[untold nexus]

Oh, well, yeah definitely
I do love Kolosten and the Moon too though, for similar reasons, but they are so dead it's crazy

[untold nexus]

I also hope that they add an option to interact with stuff you unlock for the dorm

Dorm looks nice, but there is nothing really to do in it

[misty orchid]

[still kettle]

Senadia's name being localised as Senadina is driving me crazy

[gloomy hare]

YATTA!

I have been thinking about this but the battlesuits spoil the story for newer players like me so much

[still kettle]

me when I open the valk tab

[eternal token]

the xtals are the best deals u can get in the entire game

[misty orchid]

can i have a talk with shaoji?

i just really wanna talk to him

Some people just have skill issue

krill issue

[misty orchid]

am getting skill issued in act 7 world 3 EX 4 atm

[eternal token]

oh yeah dont bother with those

some ex stages are actual hell

[misty orchid]

problem is

i saw old vids have theirs at 80 but i assume they adjusted this and made it only trial chars

[eternal token]

Oh that one lol

[misty orchid]

FRICK YOU BITCH

[gloomy hare]

[still kettle]

Using PX but can't beat Assaka

[misty orchid]

first off, i switched to phoenix as my lead damager. 2nd i just literally played yesterday.. 3rd its in this shit

[verbal quest]

[misty orchid]

they just basically give units they provided instead of what i own

[still kettle]

Yes I know what this stage is

[misty orchid]

also that fuckers AI is weird, one run he spammed that ligthning shit

that hurts like hell

and challenge needs you to do combo hits to do more damage

[misty orchid]

@verbal quest@still kettle........

I DIDNT KNOW I COULD DO THIS

[still kettle]

Doesn't it tell you you can do the supply things to upgrade?

[vague shale]

should I play Honkai Impact 3rd

[still kettle]

I remember these acts having events tied to them

[gloomy hare]

[gloomy hare]

If you're interested in the story, yes

[misty orchid]

did it hard mode

[verbal quest]

it is a big time investment for story, but if you need convincing, shaoji is the lead writer for most of it yes

[vague shale]

how much do I need to try hard sweat if I just wanted to experience the story?

[verbal quest]

0

free trial character for the story

[vague shale]

oh, pog

[verbal quest]

you dont need to gacha or own anything

[still kettle]

You don't need to farm

(For the most part)

[verbal quest]

i will say though

its around 200 hrs for part 1

story wise

[still kettle]

Best mhy game by far

[gloomy hare]

tbh, if you enjoy the story you won't notice how much time has passed going through it anyways

[vague shale]

I'll make it 400 hours

[verbal quest]

its basically a long ass visual novel with some combat mixed between later on

[gloomy hare]

I recommend this reading order that I've been following https://honkai-impact-3rd-archives.fandom.com/wiki/Recommended_Reading_Order

[vague shale]

reading order

oh hell nah

[still kettle]

[gloomy hare]

in my experience, going through the first few chapters is dry as hell

[vague shale]

if you need a reading order, you're tapped

[gloomy hare]

I mean, just playing the game you will miss out the manga and VN

[vague shale]

this is Fate all over again

[untold nexus]

If you like a good story and don't mind reading, amazing characters, music, combat etc. then yes, I would highly recommend it

[verbal quest]

its fine to honestly skip the reading order stuff, but trust me a few of the mangas are really, really, good

[untold nexus]

Scratch that, story is goated af, not just good

[still kettle]

There's also a lot of context that's not in the main story mode

[misty orchid]

so i tried again using the lvl 80 trial chars....... WHY DIDNT I SEE THIS EARLIER

[still kettle]

And you kinda need to do it to understand why things are happening

[gloomy hare]

I'd go who the hell is this annoying red hair twintails if I didn't read AE beforehand

[vague shale]

why is there so much non-game material, that's dumb

[verbal quest]

haha

[gloomy hare]

well

iirc hi3 started with a manga

sooo

[verbal quest]

early mhy was wacky

[gloomy hare]

but it will be worth

[still kettle]

||ER|| is still game content but imagine trying to go through the story stages without ever doing it

[misty orchid]

i dunno if i should be proud of myself i did it hardmode........ or slap myself in the face cause of how a dumbass i'am

[gloomy hare]

some of the manga is chef kiss

[vague shale]

I just wanna play the game

[still kettle]

You just miss an entire arc

[verbal quest]

i mean i personally beleive you dont need to read it to enjoy the story

[gloomy hare]

Yeah, but in my own experience, the first few chapters lost me interested, I need to read other resources first

but well, whatever suits you

[verbal quest]

but there is some really, actually god-tier manga as well you can do out of order later on if you want

[vague shale]

how long are these manga?

[verbal quest]

you dont need to follow the reading order, but there are some things you shouldnt miss out on

[vague shale]

I'm not gonna read the One Piece again

[still kettle]

They're oneshots

[verbal quest]

most are like less than 20 chapters

[gloomy hare]

You can skip the AE VN for now

[verbal quest]

we dont talk about VNs

[gloomy hare]

the first few mangas are short

[verbal quest]

[gloomy hare]

[vague shale]

I don't even know what that is

[gloomy hare]

It was fun smh

[vague shale]

did Mococo name that? AE

[untold nexus]

Only one is long I guess, but it's not crazy long either

[verbal quest]

hi3 has manga, game, and visual novels

visual novels are fine to skip for now since you havent even started playing yet

so ignore that

[still kettle]

Anti-Entropy (actually called NegEntropy)

[gloomy hare]

unlike manga, VN is hella long

But I enjoyed it

[untold nexus]

Yeah, the VN was really fun

[verbal quest]

tldr reading order is just optional if you dont want to be lost at any point in the story, you can ignore if you dont mind being confused for a little bit

[vague shale]

I'm not that interested in the game anymore

[verbal quest]

see guys

this is what happens when you shove the reading order into new players faces

[gloomy hare]

smh

[untold nexus]

[gloomy hare]

Different kinds of new player I see

[vague shale]

you're telling me there's 6 different, distinct mangas and a VN I have to read before even playing the game, fuck off

[verbal quest]

let them play until chapter 9 before you tell them about the external media

[untold nexus]

Watch some trailers, that'll make you interested again

[verbal quest]

you dont have to

its just those are sort off... context?

imagine star wars original trilogy and prequel trilogy

[vague shale]

and the devs couldn't be bothered to add those to the game itself somehow, via a side quest or something

[gloomy hare]

Then forget that order, explore the game yourself and question later?

[untold nexus]

Good idea, I didn't read the manga and stuff for a long time, and the VN wasn't even translated back then I think

[still kettle]

No one said that

You came up with that idea yourself

[gloomy hare]

It's not in the game = it's not mandatory, but it is recommended for a reason

[untold nexus]

Yeah

You could read it after part 1 I guess

[verbal quest]

you honestly could read it anytime

this shit didnt existed when i played

[still kettle]

I only felt there were two areas where having read those greatly enhanced my experience of the story during the relevant chapters

[verbal quest]

[still kettle]

Also yeah

[untold nexus]

Yeah exactly

[still kettle]

[verbal quest]

shut up old man

[still kettle]

no u fossil

[gloomy hare]

different people have different playing experiences I see, I don't mind spending days before getting into chapter 1
But yeah, you can just forget about that reading order

[untold nexus]

It's very different depending on when you started obviously

I read second eruption maybe around ch 20 or smth

[vague shale]

I'm just gonna play the game

if it's not in the game, I'm not interested

even if it's "recommended"

[untold nexus]

Yeah, sure thing, that's fine, maybe you'll be intrerested later

[verbal quest]

there you see

we can brainwash him later to read 2nd eruption after chapter 9

[untold nexus]

[gloomy hare]

[still kettle]

[untold nexus]

The mangas are linked from inside the game though

[verbal quest]

you guys are bad at recruiting members to the honkai cult

[gloomy hare]

fine

I'll lurk next time

[verbal quest]

this is why i already recruited 5 people since 2023

[vague shale]

I don't think you can, I'm unfollowing this post after I install the game because as I learned from the Star Rail thread, y'all motherfuckers can't keep your spoilers in check

[untold nexus]

We can, trust

[vague shale]

how much storage does the game take

[verbal quest]

this group is smaller, and we dont talk about old story

[untold nexus]

40 on PC

[verbal quest]

we talk about meta, and thigs

[still kettle]

This group is filled with two kinds of people

old people

[verbal quest]

around 30 on phone

[gloomy hare]

28.3 on android

[vague shale]

that's a lot, to the 2nd drive you go

[untold nexus]

SSD recommended

[still kettle]

There's also resource management so you can remove old data too

[untold nexus]

And ? New people ?

[vague shale]

I am ungovernable

[still kettle]

less old people

[vague shale]

I will run this mechanical drive to the ground before I install anything that's not an operating system or important programs on an SSD

[verbal quest]

think resource management allows you to download chapters of your choosing as well, so you can say download up to chapter 10 only if you want

[untold nexus]

Starrail is a lot slower for me if I don't run it on a SSD

[vague shale]

I run Star Rail on a hard drive, sounds like a skill issue

[verbal quest]

why do you need performance in star rai

its turn based

[still kettle]

Imagine playing on the normal speed

[untold nexus]

It literally loads slower when I open the menu and it stutters the first time when I go into combat

[verbal quest]

you telling me you wanna click the ult button in 60 fps

[untold nexus]

I dunno, maybe my hard drives suck

[vague shale]

kid named nihility SU:

[untold nexus]

Yes

I want it to run smooth, and it does either way, it has just loading issues for me

[vague shale]

until I can buy a 2TB SSD for less $50, everything not important goes to the magnetic spinny boy

Hopefully I will no longer just completely miss a rotation because the buttons are too fucking small

[verbal quest]

We're so back baby

feels nice for feedback to take place in the very next patch

unlike... another game

[untold nexus]

I didn't mind the UI tbh, but making the HP bars a bit bigger is nice

[still kettle]

Genshin could never

[still kettle]

I'm a mobile player primarily so it's super annoying to just not have my weapon skill or ult come out because I just miss the button

The muscle memory is really strong so having the buttons shift just slightly is enough to make me miss a combo

[untold nexus]

Oh, I see, well not sure how it is on mobile tbh

[still kettle]

microscopic

(not really but they are a lot smaller)

That's why I kept stressing that it's very mobile unfriendly since I'm very used to playing on mobile

[untold nexus]

Fair, this is a nice change then, and the bars getting bigger is good for mobile too

[median pewter]

the fact that its greyed out also messes me up because i cant tell if its on cooldown orn ot

[still kettle]

Yeah...

[gritty stone]

So it begins for me. Wish me luck

[untold nexus]

Nice, good luck

[gloomy hare]

Enjoy

[untold nexus]

[gritty stone]

Btw for current banner who should I pull (which one is easier for a new player)

I like them both by looks

[untold nexus]

Pretty sure Sena is the better choice for new players

This is the one with the cool skin though

[plush depot]

so many new players

[verbal quest]

Its also easier to advertise in hsr now because they have tasted what Shaoji has cooked

[untold nexus]

True

[verbal quest]

All I need to say is “hi3 part 1 is mostly written by Shaoji” and people get excited

[untold nexus]

Happy Happy Happy~

[idle mulch]

me skipping part 1

[untold nexus]

Literally the best advertisement, they know what they were doing

[untold nexus]

Well you'll come around

Hopefully

[verbal quest]

They’ll come around after catching up to part2, get bored, then do part 1 in the meantime

[gritty stone]

Wait you can part 2 before part 1?

Why tho?

[idle mulch]

i'm just gonna start reading when i come to elysian realm

now just skimming

[still kettle]

Part 2 is largely its own story

Don't need to know that much about part 1 but it's recommended to do it first obviously

[verbal quest]

1. Easier for new players/streamers to jump and experience modern Honkai without having to go through the initial chapters written 7 years ago
2. Technically they are separate stories so you don’t need to experience over 200hra of story from part 1

[gritty stone]

Nah, i'd catch up

[verbal quest]

There will be references and spoilers of course, but if you know nothing about part 1, spoilers without context mean nothing

[gritty stone]

[verbal quest]

You can do that but there are other arcs that are just as good as Elysian realm

plus ER is really, really, long

[gritty stone]

Ok, Kiana's design is just

[plush depot]

which one?

[gritty stone]

They know where to focus camera angles

I guess all of them

[verbal quest]

I think he’s in the opening cutscene

So

[untold nexus]

Based

[verbal quest]

I know what he’s talking about

[plush depot]

opening sceen is

[untold nexus]

[plush depot]

when mihoyo was mihorny

[untold nexus]

Still is

[verbal quest]

Back when lingyi was writing hi3 and was going full degen

[untold nexus]

But also, look at the part 2 characters and the Shu's
They are 90 % hot as f

[median pewter]

... opening scene..?

the valkyrie drop??

[plush depot]

yes

[median pewter]

god that makes me feel so fucking old

there was a time that it was the CG scene that plays everytime there's an update

now we get Trailers

[still kettle]

you have just unlocked old player memory

[median pewter]

old people memory

also remember how janky and lame attack patterns of the earlier valks (looking at you early bronya)

old people memory

[still kettle]

White Comet literally just Bayonetta

[median pewter]

never in my lifetime

have i ever used Black Nucleus

[idle mulch]

this sure is annoying, and why is there no retry

[untold nexus]

Don't remember this

[still kettle]

I used BN like once to oneshot bosses in arena

You guys remember the Kallen oneshot strat using Valkyrie Chariot or something?

[untold nexus]

I never really used tactics like that
I was more casual back then I think

[eternal token]

okay

carole is FUN at ER

holy shit

[gloomy hare]

Ch. 29, Pink Elf is way too pretty

[eternal token]

oh u finished ER?

[gloomy hare]

I've done all 3 ER chapters yeah, I'll go through side quests and memory eggs slowly

[eternal token]

yeah

enjoy 29

its slow at first

but savor it as much as u can

welcome to the best arc in HI3

[gloomy hare]

looking great so far, one downside is Mei's VA unfortunately got C19 that year 😔

[eternal token]

yeah rip

ngl i thought my audio broke at first

[still kettle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1020195525645045830/1216587747364700260/image.png fuck

[rich jackal]

zamn, i rolled 1 10x using tix on the helia weapon banner and i got it and von newman M and 2 Bs

good thing i did not open the free box so its auto T for that

[untold nexus]

Damn

[drowsy elk]

lmao last time I was here was 2 years ago

i've been slacking off lately

[untold nexus]

I tried beating Red Lotus for the first time surprisingly and it wasn't slower then Agony 3 for some reason. I guess I'll try RL from now on

[median pewter]

lower RL is similar to A3

it really depends on your bracket

the smartest thing to do is to go to RL, go back to A3, repeat

because maintaning middlle and higher RL is a bitch

[untold nexus]

Yeah that's what I did for a long time, but I'll try to go a bit further for now

[eternal token]

Im still on A1

Literally never did abyss since i start the game

[plush depot]

Wth

[drowsy elk]

pro A1 player

[misty orchid]

[gloomy hare]

🐟

[eternal token]

sacc

now get helia wep

[misty orchid]

its the one in B right?

is it worth going there?

[eternal token]

very

basically sena > sena wep > helia wep

[misty orchid]

ohhh

[eternal token]

once u get all 3 u good

[misty orchid]

aight, i'll do that

tyty

[eternal token]

all stigs are farmables

[eternal token]

[eternal token]

We have salome now

[still kettle]

fuck

Not HoRS

[verbal quest]

I’m just gonna drop take the L and drop 75 on rimestar

[still kettle]

I mean for arena

[verbal quest]

Ahh fuck

Can’t avoid that if I wanna get the LITE

[mellow nova]

i hate rimestar with passion

[still kettle]

I can get 46080 on it but I just hate the fight

It's easy but I don't like it

[mellow nova]

cant even get it

cuz im stuck

using sirin

[still kettle]

Doesn't she have type disadvantage

[mellow nova]

she's

only

the fire dps i have

[still kettle]

I just use HoF to brute force every fire contents lol

[mellow nova]

i dont have

hof weap

[still kettle]

just sacc

so easy la

[mellow nova]

was gonna buy it on bp shop

[verbal quest]

i just hate any boss that requires fire teams in general

[mellow nova]

but my business trip happened

didn't bought it

[still kettle]

Fire is my most built damage type

[verbal quest]

i wanna build lambda, but its been long enough now im sensing a powercreep for fire support soon

[mellow nova]

just add eden replacement

or ai-chan

[still kettle]

Use Kira

[verbal quest]

kira is also unbuilt

[still kettle]

ok suffer then

[verbal quest]

pretty sure none of us realised she was full elemental support and not just ice

[still kettle]

I read her set effects and realised that

Wasn't Pardo also kind of like that?

[verbal quest]

#1019739671732957246 message

good times

[verbal quest]

well pardo was there mostly for sp generation i beleive

[still kettle]

Oh yeah

[verbal quest]

because raven obviously was...

[still kettle]

Eden is my strongest SP generator but I think she's slightly more biased towards lightning

So can't really use her everywhere

Lambda doesn't really generate that much SP

At least not enough to ult every rotation unlike teams featuring Eden

[gritty stone]

Meanwhile me smashing random bullshit and playing

[verbal quest]

i mostly use HoF so sp generation isnt a massive priority for me

[gritty stone]

How far in meta starts to actually matter?

[still kettle]

Well it's not for HoF

But it does become unsustainable after like 3-4 rotations

[verbal quest]

well yeah, im just saying for me specifically building labda is good

[verbal quest]

just kill in 3-4 rotations easy

[verbal quest]

lvl 80+

[still kettle]

LV81-88

[verbal quest]

basically once you have the option to "break through" the lvl cap to 81, then you start thinking about meta

[gritty stone]

I just started doing Yae's dream thing

[still kettle]

And only if you're in RL

[gritty stone]

And boy they are gay To bad it's a sad game

[verbal quest]

yeah youre far off

[gritty stone]

[verbal quest]

just enjoy the game

[gritty stone]

Yeah

[verbal quest]

in genshin terms, the meta starts at AR 56

[still kettle]

The gay plot armour couldn't save them

[still kettle]

Meta also actually matters in this game unlike Genshin because ranked content exists

[verbal quest]

basically you got a year or so before you start caring about meta, and even then its optional to "breakthrough" the lvl ceiling to 81

[mellow nova]

honestly

its easy to lvl up now

[still kettle]

Yeah a month or two of active play will get you to LV80

[verbal quest]

is it that fast now?

[still kettle]

Yes

Source : my cadets

[verbal quest]

let me see how my cadets are doing

[mellow nova]

u have cadets?

[gritty stone]

Well I'm going to enjoy uplifting story before meta jumpscares me

[verbal quest]

you might not know this, but ive been slowly converting and exposing hfs people and mods to hi3

[mellow nova]

fuck

[verbal quest]

ahh one of mine is already 62 and he started in december

[mellow nova]

[still kettle]

Homu is easy

[mellow nova]

i'm at RL

time to do 15k only

[verbal quest]

in hi3 we call it "positive and wholesome"

[verbal quest]

RL NEEEERRRRRDDDD

[gritty stone]

Good to know

[still kettle]

Usually I just flip between RL and A3 because weather actually matters in RL

[mellow nova]

i rank up

i didnt knew i was first

[still kettle]

welcome to Nirvana

[mellow nova]

ytd

i did nirvana

but its fking sweaty

i derank up to a3

[still kettle]

congrats whale

I almost called Nirvana "myriad"

[mellow nova]

honestly the reason i bothered to do that is

just to get the badge

that's it

[still kettle]

based

[mellow nova]

im still hunting the other one

memorial one

can't get it

cuz its more sweaty than abyss

[still kettle]

The top 100 one?

[mellow nova]

yeah

[verbal quest]

just get it once all the old players quit before eos

easy

[mellow nova]

doubt

[still kettle]

Yeah I've never been even close to getting the arena badges

[mellow nova]

there's part 2 and part 3

[still kettle]

As long as I can get 7% I'm okay

[plush depot]

Wth pro

[plush depot]

Mine dropped the game

One of them even ended our sensei-cadet relationship

[verbal quest]

bad sensei

[plush depot]

Bro already graduated under me

And mf ended our relationship

Even tho they were my fav

[mellow nova]

dude

my cadet is my alt account

[plush depot]

Eien r u on global?

[mellow nova]

eien iirc is a ph dude

prob sea

[plush depot]

Smh

Time to scout cadets again

[mellow nova]

i just scout in chat

surprisingly i got one

[gritty stone]

?

No, i'm not

[verbal quest]

just scout here

[mellow nova]

oh wait ur not?

[verbal quest]

we already got a few new players

[gritty stone]

EU gang

[mellow nova]

like this

[verbal quest]

then you can ping them when they havent logged on in a few days

[mellow nova]

got it earlier

[plush depot]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO

And do u need a sensei?

[gritty stone]

I mean if it gives you some free things sure

[mellow nova]

i can see

ur desperation

[plush depot]

Give us free thing

[mellow nova]

lmf

[plush depot]

Wdym?

[gritty stone]

So, what do I do?

[plush depot]

Send me your code

[verbal quest]

why u asking for cadets like youre asking someone on a date

[plush depot]

Cuz I'm shy and asking smn smt is embarrassing

[mellow nova]

thats the thing

u do it like its a date

[plush depot]

U do it like it's a date and you have higher success rate

[verbal quest]

it also gives you lots of things

[gritty stone]

[verbal quest]

i think around 3000 crystals minimum

[mellow nova]

it gives

a lot of dorm pulls

[plush depot]

Less iirc

[mellow nova]

too

iirc

[plush depot]

Anyway you get free stuff

[gritty stone]

Let's goo my Asta expy pulls

[gloomy hare]

exactly my thought

[mellow nova]

u get 1740 cystals

total

and 10 dorm pulls

[plush depot]

204102185

My id

[gritty stone]

First date and I already scored their number

[plush depot]

Pro

[mellow nova]

hey

[plush depot]

[mellow nova]

now that you say it

in ch 1 in sea

there somebody asking for date tips

right now

[plush depot]

I hope you like McDonald's

[mellow nova]

honestly its quite wholesome this time

[verbal quest]

the best part about now is that you dont have to play with your sensei anymore

because they got rid of co-op

[mellow nova]

yeah

[plush depot]

Oh shit true

[verbal quest]

you never have to meet lmf

[plush depot]

I've never done that with my cadets

[verbal quest]

and you wonder why they left you

[mellow nova]

[plush depot]

Man, no one what's to meet me

[plush depot]

If they wanted to do coop they should have find me

What's why we have ign chat

[verbal quest]

maybe you were never online

[plush depot]

I still receive it and we can make an appointment

[verbal quest]

too much effort
